NS2 COMPANY DESCRIPTIONSAP is the global market leader for business software and related services. SAP National Security Services Inc. (SAP NS2 ) is an independent U.S. subsidiary of SAP. At SAP NS2, we leverage best-in-breed technologies engineered by SAP to protect the lives, assets, and information of Americans. We offer SAP solutions with specialized levels of security and support to meet the requirements of U.S. national security and critical infrastructure customers.
This position requires access to customer data. All internal must have manager's approval to transfer. ABOUT THE ROLEWe are seeking a Senior Platform Security Engineer with a strong DevOps/DevSecOps background to lead security efforts across our cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and production workloads. You will be hands-on, conducting threat modeling, driving vulnerability management, building security automation, and hardening multi-cloud environments.
This role partners closely with DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Product teams to embed security into the development lifecycle. You'll contribute to security tooling strategy, build policy-as-code frameworks, and drive detection and response capabilities across cloud-native infrastructure. A key requirement for this position is deep, demonstrated expertise with the Wiz platform - not surface-level familiarity, but production-level experience architecting deployments, tuning policies, building integrations, and using Wiz as a core pillar of a cloud security program.
PLATFORM EXPERTISE (REQUIRED)This role requires substantive, production-level experience with the Wiz platform as well as other security toling. Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate depth across multiple Wiz capabilities during the interview process.
- Deployed and administered Wiz CNAPP in production across AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud Platform environments
- Configured and tuned Wiz security policies, rules, and risk scoring to align with organizational risk appetite and compliance frameworks
- Built custom Wiz integrations using the Wiz API, including automated workflows for ticket creation, alert routing, CI/CD gating, and reporting
- Leveraged Wiz's CSPM, CIEM, vulnerability scanning, container/Kubernetes security, and IaC scanning capabilities in production
- Experience with EDR/XDR platforms such as CrowdStrike Falcon for endpoint detection, threat hunting, and incident response across cloud and hybrid environments
- Ability to design and operate vulnerability management programs including scan scheduling, prioritization, SLA enforcement, and remediation tracking
- Experience with Dynatrace or equivalent APM/observability platforms for infrastructure monitoring, application performance analysis, and security-relevant telemetry
- Ability to correlate observability data with security findings to improve detection, triage, and incident response workflows
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES- Cloud Security Architecture: Lead threat modeling and security reviews across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes-based workloads. Develop scalable mitigation strategies and secure baselines.
- DevSecOps Integration: Build automation, policy-as-code, and security tooling that enables development teams to shift left. Integrate security findings into CI/CD workflows, IaC pipelines, and developer feedback loops.
- Vulnerability Management: Drive vulnerability management and remediation across cloud and container environments. Prioritize issues using risk context, implement mitigations, and design preventative controls across software supply chains.
- Detection & Response: Extend detection and response capabilities across cloud environments. Build scalable solutions for alert triage, investigation, and incident remediation.
- Infrastructure Hardening: Design and implement secure baselines for cloud resources, Kubernetes clusters (EKS/GKE/AKS), IAM, and network architecture. Enforce guardrails through policy-as-code.
- Security Tooling & Wiz Platform: Support the configuration, optimization, and integration of the Wiz platform as a core component of our cloud security stack. Drive adoption, tune policies, build API integrations, leverage Wiz Code for vulnerability remediation, and ensure Wiz capabilities are fully leveraged across the organization.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Build deep partnerships with DevOps, Platform Engineering, Security Engineering, Product, and SecOps teams. Enable secure-by-design solutions without becoming a bottleneck.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS- 7+ years of experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, or cloud security operations
- 3+ years of hands-on, production-level experience with the Wiz platform (CNAPP, CSPM, CIEM, container security, IaC scanning, Wiz Code)
- Strong DevOps/infrastructure background: you've built and operated CI/CD pipelines, managed Kubernetes clusters, and automated infrastructure
- Deep AWS cloud security expertise (equivalent Azure/Google Cloud Platform experience also considered with some AWS proficiency)
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes security (EKS, GKE, or AKS) and container security principles
- Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm, or Pulumi
- Strong scripting and automation skills in Python, Go, Shell, and/or HCL
- Proven ability to lead threat modeling exercises and translate findings into actionable controls
- Deep understanding of IAM, cloud identity, and least-privilege principles at scale
- Practical knowledge of web application security fundamentals (OWASP Top 10)
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS- Experience building custom Wiz API integrations for reporting, automation, or SOAR workflows
- Wiz Cloud Fundamentals or Detect Fundamentals certification
- Experience with Wiz in FedRAMP or other compliance-driven environments (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53)
- Background in SRE or platform engineering with a pivot into security
- Experience with complementary security tooling: SIEM/SOAR platforms, EDR, network security
- AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform cloud certifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field (equivalent experience accepted)
- Experience working with remote, globally distributed teams
WHAT SETS YOU APARTYou're a security engineer with a builder's mindset. You've come up through DevOps or infrastructure and you bring that operational DNA to everything you do. You automate, you ship, you iterate, and you partner with engineering rather than gatekeep. On the Wiz side, you don't just know what it does, you've been in the trenches configuring it, building on it, and using it to materially reduce risk. You can walk us through a deployment you've architected, explain your policy tuning philosophy, and show us how you've used Wiz data to drive real remediation outcomes.
